I thought the restore might still contain information that it was on /dev/sd.. before and thus just create the same situation again. Possible sequence of commands: - remove sdb3 from array - check if PV sda3 and dom0 is now up and ok - vgcfgbackup dom0 -f somefile - wipe the labels on sda3 (how?) - pvcreate --uuid=new uid? --restorefile=somefile /dev/md2 - vgcfgrestore -f somefile dom0 ???
